Ugly cover. The movie felt un-focused... It rides on RDJR's charm but I don't think Jon Favroe is much of a director. The endings and action in both film are not top notch, ending both films with CGI suits battling. No thanks.

mickey rourke was really good, and he should have been the only villain. rockwell definitely took away from him. i'm just bothered by the fact that so far each movie has come down to tony battling another suit. anyone seems to be able to build these things.

definitely will grab this eventually. along with the first. just waiting for my eventual blu-ray upgrade. need to buy a player soon...

Yeah there was most action but most of it was setup to make way for the next films to come out. Still I liked it a lot and it was enjoyable. Definitely am buying the Combo Pack on Day 1!!!!

i was in the same boat, well over 300 movies when i made the switch to blu-ray and there's no "starting from scratch" needed. my blu-ray collection is a little over 100 movies now and of those, there's maybe 25 i already had on dvd. but of course i chose to double dip those, i didnt need or have to, i just wanted to. in most cases i found them for really cheap and/or they offered new extras (i'm an extras wh*re ). but also, blu-ray players upgrade dvds so they look even nicer so you have good reason to keep everything.

so many people have this idea that they are expected or "have to" rebuy all of their movies on blu-ray if they make the switch. well of course you dont, as my case maybe there are a few movies you love a lot and would be worth getting again but there's no need or reason to start over. i'd understand if blu-ray players werent backward compatible but yeah.

its a good time to start, prices have never been better and lower on movies and players. anyway...im starting to sound like a pitchman so i'll shut up and go back to topic...........IRON MAN 2 BABY!!!

I 4got about the rockwell character, yeh that was a BIG problem for me. He was misdirected or something. That character should have been menacing. I thought the racetrak scene was the best scene. I was surprised by how boring this film was. Too many plots going on and favreau really doesnt need to cast himself in his own movies. He gave himself far too much screentime. Felt very smug

Unfortunately, it does not mention the audio tracks available or the subtitles either. I guess a further anouncement is forthcoming, or we will all play the waiting game. Nonetheless, I have already pre-ordered this!

Sam Rockwell was annoying beyond tolerance. I get that they wanted an industry counterpoint to Stark, but he didn't have to be OD'ing on charisma to where it made the audience sick. There are good points in the movie, but there are also shortcomings. I think they packed a little too much into the film, making its pacing clunky, and the ending rather thin. Tony didn't have much of a personal beef with the villains. He just had to do the hero thing, and stop them from blow stuff up. Mickey Rourke was all right, but I think his role was diminished by Sam Rockwell's presence alone.

Was it bad enough to pass on the DVD? No, but it better be a cheaper price than usual for a diminished package. It's not that I don't want BluRay, but I don't have the equipment or money to buy it with. Not to mention, I've spent the last 10 years building up well over 400 titles on DVD. I'm not starting from scratch, again.

This was somewhat underwhelming, but I would say that overall it was moderate at best. ScarJo's action at the end was the best thing about the film. And yes, this was a let down in comparison to the first movie.

I'll def. pick up the bluray combo pack, but damn, the standard cover is much better. I love group covers when they're done right like that one. The only this missing from it is the War Machine armor. Oh well, you can't have your cake and eat it, too as the saying goes.

He actually did record a commentary for the first film, but for some reason Paramount didn't use it.

Initially, when I noticed that it wasn't on the first film, I figured maybe they were sitting on it until a double-dip in time for the sequel. That never happened, so I'm not sure why it has never surfaced.

Definitely not as good as the first movie. Rockwell was annoying as hell, and the villains weren't much of a threat. The action was pretty good (despite how little there was), but pretty much a case of style over substance. Hopefully that won't be the case with RDJ's other sequel, "Sherlock Holmes 2."

Awesome. Definitely first day purchase. This sequel was very satisfying. It sure didn't live up to the first film but it was still awesome. And the DVD and the digital copy is included on the Blu-Ray...YES!!!!! DAY 1 PURCHASE FOR ME!!!!!!!!

talk about screwing over the dvd buyers. i'm all for pushing blu-ray and making it become the one and only format but damn, this is pretty harsh. its one thing to give blu-ray exclusive little featurettes and things but to omit a whole "making of" ? and if the last movie is any sign, it'll probably be a good 90mins to 2hrs long so its something substantial.
